    Words like 'Transitions', 'Change', 'Grief', & 'Passions', Ep. 124

    A moment for author Julia Cameron today... First, thank you to all the guests who inspired us this season, and as a bonus, shed a light on my new/old state of New Jersey. As return listeners know, I am from New Jersey, left it for over a decade, and celebrated coming back by highlighting people doing good in this small but mighty state of NJ all season here on Be The Good with Kate. Along this theme of moving and change, I recently picked up a book I read many, many years ago: Transitions, by Julia Cameron, most known for her bestselling book, The Artist’s Way. With the theme of Be The Good with Kate being following your passions and making a difference along the way, I know that those of us trying to follow our passions do face plenty of transitions– sometimes planned, sometimes thrust upon us.  I am not claiming to be wise in this regard, but Julia and the people she quotes in this little book sure impart a lot of wisdom to readers. In case you don’t have the opportunity to pick it up, let me share a few snippets that intrigued me in various ways… Thank you for listening, and please do not hesitate to reach out to let me know what resonated with you here today. I love hearing from you. @positively_kate or katecherichello.com/bethegood  If you know someone who could use this boost, send them the link to the show, or share on social. Let’s spread a little more good news today. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bethegoodwithkate/support

    Thriving Through the Preschool Years with Danielle Lindner, Ep. 123

    How One Mom is Helping Raise the Bar on Maternal Mental Health: Colleen Imler, Ep. 122

    Every single one of us came from a mother. There’s no way around that entry into the world. Yet why has maternal health taken such a backseat in our society for so long? People like today’s guest on Be The Good with Kate are working to change that. **Welcome to Be The Good with Kate, the show where guests leave you inspired to uncover your passions, and discover tangible ways to make a difference along the way. ** Colleen Imler, a mom of two little girls, has battled postpartum depression, anxiety, and isolation from covid, while also finding the joy, the modern definition of ‘village’, and her way of helping others going through the emotional roller coaster of having a child. She is a communications and public relations professional by day and an advocate for mental health by night. Around the clock she is a mom, wife, sister, daughter and friend.  Although Colleen explains she felt like “who am I to be writing a book on motherhood,” she followed the pull on her heart to do so, and Becoming a Parent: 16 Truths and a Lie, is now published. It recounts her personal birth story and struggles as a new parent, and the challenges of having a baby during the pandemic. In this episode, she shares with us what ‘’the lie’’ is, too :). We talk: –The major identity shift in becoming a mother – Putting a name to what she was going through, and how that helped her – “You're going to miss your old self, and that's okay.”  – How much writing helped her – Baby #1 challenges vs baby #2 challenges –  20% of all of her book royalties go to postpartum support organizations **Thanks for listening to Be The Good with Kate.  Easy and impactful way you can help this podcast reach more people?

    Your Kind of Cuts, A Sensory-Friendly Barbershop, Ep. 121

    Today on Be The Good with Kate: Your Kind of Cuts, a sensory friendly barbershop located in Nutley, NJ.  **Welcome to Be The Good with Kate, the show where guests leave you inspired to uncover your passions, and discover tangible ways to make a difference along the way. ** One, of many, points that sticks out to me in this episode, is how Billy did not want to focus on how a child was ‘different’, but rather that each child is simply a person who needs a haircut. The fact they are a part of the autism community or grappling with another challenge makes no difference to Billy, Roe, and Giacomo of Your Kind of Cuts – yet it makes such a difference to the child and their family.  Billy says, “I just show up and be Billy”. He has no specific training in working with neurodivergent children, yet watching him interact with them and their families, you would certainly not know it. His joy and passion for helping is palpable, his creativity in finding ways to work with any child who walks through the door is amazing, and his humor shines through. He had me laughing throughout our chat.  As a child, Billy was in the foster system, explaining that it helped him become a good judge of character. He was in cosmetology school full-time at age 39, unemployed, with a second child being born, and here is yet another example from a guest on this podcast that one, it is never too late, and two, if you feel strongly about doing something, with focus and determination you can achieve a whole lot. Billy opened Your Kind of Cuts, and he has a goal of more such barbershops across the country.    Billy stresses, don’t be afraid: be it as a child facing something that scares you, or as an adult with an opportunity to open your own business. Look at what good can come out of it.  Anyone looking to become a barber with the added level of care and service seen at Your Kind of Cuts, reach out to Billy or stop by!   yourkindofcuts . net Thanks for listening to Be The Good with Kate.
